A Family Pét-Nat with a Sense of Humor
Domaine Amirault is run by Xavier and Agnès Amirault, the sixth generation to farm vines around Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil in the Loire Valley, across 53 parcels of gravel, sand and limestone-clay soils.
Pet'Night channels the estate's low-intervention instincts into a bright, saline sparkling white with an informal, unforced character.

Scale1–5
BG wine structure estimate
Comparative profile within the Bacchus Global wine range.
White orchard fruit and brioche notes built up during lees contact, with a touch of butter and wet chalk.
Ample and round on entry, with green apple and lemon freshness, a saline thread and a light spiced finish.
Pale gold in the glass, with a fine, persistent bead.
Before it reaches the glass
Temperature
Serve well chilled, around 8–10°C.
Timing
Best enjoyed young — ideally within its current 2026–2028 window, in keeping with its fresh, ancestral-method character.
Glassware
Pour into a wide tulip white wine glass rather than a flute, to let the brioche and orchard-fruit aromas open up.
At the table
Pet'Night's saline edge and fine bubbles give it an easy footing across Japanese, Thai and Western tables built on citrus, salt and gentle spice.
Its bright acidity, saline finish and fine bubbles suit dishes led by citrus and seafood, while the lees-driven brioche notes give it enough depth for preparations with butter or egg. Keep chili heat moderate so the wine's detail remains clear.
Japanese
- Raw oysters
- Sea urchin gunkan sushi
- White fish sashimi with lime and olive oil
Why it worksThe wine's saline, chalky finish echoes the brine of raw seafood, while its citrus-toned acidity lifts delicate white fish.
Thai
- Raw oysters with lime and chili (hoi nang rom)
- Mild seafood salad (yam talay, light chili)
- Green papaya salad with light chili (som tam)
Why it worksBright acidity and fine bubbles keep pace with lime and salt in Thai seafood dishes, provided chili heat stays moderate rather than fiery.
Western
- French-style seafood platter with oysters and shrimp
- Savory cheddar waffle with pickled red onion and poached egg
- Simple lemon-butter grilled fish
Why it worksThe wine's own butter and brioche notes mirror richer, egg- and cheese-based dishes, while its fine bubbles and acidity cut through the fat.
From cellar to bottle
Winemaking
Whole clusters of Chenin Blanc are pressed and begin a single fermentation in tank with native yeasts only; the still-fermenting wine is then bottled so it completes fermentation and builds its bubbles naturally inside the bottle, the traditional méthode ancestrale of the Loire.
Product detail
Unfiltered, unfined and bottled without added sulphites, it is released as a non-vintage Vin de France in a 750 ml bottle.
Saint-Nicolas-de-Bourgueil, Loire Valley
The estate ages its wines in cellars carved from over a hectare of tuffeau limestone, the soft local rock long used across the Loire for quarrying and cool, stable storage.
